Sayu raised a brow, "Could we just go. This guy seems to be annoying, and not really scary."
Ryuk turned to Sayu (and if he had eyebrows he would've raised one lol). "In a hurry, are we?" he asked.
"Kind of...this place is scary..." Sayu sighed
"It looks boring to me." Light commented, "No wonder you prefer the Earth's play ground, Ryuk." he smirked in his direction
"Hey, stop ignoring me!" Sidoh huffed.
Light raised a brow, "I been dead too long. You shut up. You want your note book then come and get it. We'll all take you on."
"Yeah, bring it. Light will kick your sorry a$$!" Misa nodded
"Enough!" Ryuk said. "Sidoh, that is not your notebook. The ownership is Sayu's. And as I said. The Old Man gave that notebook to me, therefore making it mine, regardless of whose it was beforehand."
"But...oh...I want it back...I don't want to be bored and stuck here all my existence...which is forever...aw..." Sidoh whined.
"Finders Keepers...gah..." Misa grumbled.
"Since he won't shut up how about we play a game." Light crossed his arms
"What a game with spirits?" Sidoh laughed, "Yeah what's the challenge?"
Light frowned, "Sayu and you fight for it."
"WHAT!" Sayu got behind her brother, "You do it...I'm not the fighter in the family..."
Light shrugged, he lifted a fist.
"Okay...okay...you can have it." Sidoh backed up.
Ryuk chuckled evilly. "Must not want it too bad then, eh? Anyway, stand aside. We have business with the Old Man."
"The Old Man?...you have to talk to Jasten first...and I'll ask for the Notebook later...when its easier to take back." Sidoh marched off
Light shook his head and Misa blinked a bit surprised, "What a loser." she commented
Sayu held onto the notebook slowly moving with the group towards the "old man"
"Hmph..." said Ryuk as he watched after the retreating shinigami. "Jasten...forgot about him..." he muttered as he made his way forward.
"Whose Jasten?" Misa asked Ryuk looking at him with curiosity.
Sayu made the same look
"Jasten is the...uh...secretary...sort of. Any business with the king must go through him first," ryuk answered.
"Oh." Sayu looked down as she stood by her brother. "I hope this works..." she sighed softly to herself clinching the note book to her small chest.
Light saw his sister's fear, "Don't show the Shinigami you're afraid. Try to be strong..."
Sayu nodded, "I'll try. I have been so far."
Misa huffed, she placed her hands on Light's keeping close to him as well.
It wasn't long before they arrived before the other shinigami. "Jasten," Ryuk said as he approached. "I have business with the king." He stepped aside so that he could see the others.
Jasten jerked back in his seat, then rose to his bony feet. "...mortal souls are here? What is your purpose?"
"To bring my brother, Light back." Sayu explained simply.
Jasten raised a brow, "But no one has ever been able to revive a spirit killed by the notebook."
"Well, we are here." Sayu shrugged, "Most spirits do not ever reach here."
Jasten nodded, he spoke in a foreign language and skulls enveloped in chains appeared before them.
Sayu's eyes widened, she took a step back going into Light.
"Who dares to come before me?" said the King of the Shinigami.
"My Lord," said Ryuk, bowing politely. "It is I, Ryuk."
"You again..." the king grumbled. "What do you want now? Haven't lost another Death Note, have you?"
"No Sir. There are some...mortals...who wish to ask a favor of you."
"And what makes you think that I would grant the wishes of mortals?" the king thundered.
Light approached, "Do not blame Ryuk, sire." he slightly bowed. "I ask the favor to be resurrected. The locals tell me that most spirits do not make it to your presence. I can see why, your lordship is most frightening."
"And just what makes you think it is possible to resurrect you?" the king asked, a note of amusement in his voice. "Do you really think that I would just bring every human back to life who comes before me?"
Light smirked, "No, but like I said not every human soul has made it before you. Those who have either flee from fear, or...insult you. I'm neither, sire. If I must prove myself to you I will do so. Just tell me how would you like to be entertained? And, I will."
"Hmm..." the king thought for a moment. "Very well. I will set some tasks for you. If you complete them, then I will resurrect you. Fail any of them, and your spirit will be torn apart. You will cease to exist. You may even wish you could go to hell, because this will be worse. Do you understand?"
Light stood there, he took a breath. "Yes...I understand, sire." he nodded. "What is the first task you wish of me?"
"First, you must reposess the Death Note," he said, nodding (or...some semblance of nodding...) towards the book in Sayu's hands.
ight looked over in his sister's direction, "Sayu..." he held his hand out to her.
Sayu slowly went to her elder brother handing him the note book. "Won't I forget?" she paused
"...you shouldn't if you are like me." He pointed to her sleeves seeing s small trace of paper underneath them.
Sayu blushed embarrassed. She hid the torn piece further into her sleeves. She stepped back from Light and the King going to Misa once more
Light turned back towards the King, a glint in his cold eyes brought them to a flaming inferno. He had the Death Note back, and this time things would go according to plan. He smirked, glancing in the King's direction awaiting his tests.
He would show the King of the Shinigami his worth to the living realm. His lips curved up and he simply said, "Lets begin."
